Not sure how to convert int to C# object

I'm trying to pass a parameter to a controller method and I'm having problems with converting type int to C# object. Or more specifically type in to root.

@{
Layout = null;
Root movieResult = ViewData["movies"] as Root;
MovieResults movies = ViewData["movies"] as MovieResults;
}
"en">
"UTF-8"/>
"viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>

where do you need Root in Action method , In your case you are just passing movie Id via anchor tag helper
so your action method will be as simple as
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult MoviePage(string Id) // here you will get the id
{

      return View();
}

what is the definition of Root in your case? please provide the class defintion so that we could understand and help.
BTW, your ViewData["movies"] seems like a collection of MovieResult Object so it should be
@{
Layout = null;

var  movies =(IEnumerable(MoviewResult)) ViewData["movies"] ;
}
